Benny Blanco reopened the hygiene talk during his podcast, in the episode with Ed Sheeran, and his longtime friend denied the rumors about the lack of cleanliness.
The 38-year-old music producer asked Sheeran, 35, if he showers every day on the Tuesday, March 10, episode of Friends keep secrets.
The Form of you hitmaker replied: “Yeah, sometimes twice a day. Mostly twice a day, actually.”
Sheeran continued, “I feel like I’m just like you though — I look like I don’t smell good. But actually you’re the best smelling person I know,” to which Blanco added, “I know I smell good.”
His friend and podcast co-host Lil Dicky and Dicky’s wife Kristin Batalucco also confirmed Blanco’s claim of smelling good even though he hadn’t showered.
This comes after Blanco’s poor hygiene became a trending topic on social media after he showed off his dirty feet in the first episode of his podcast.
Blanco and Dicky later discussed the uproar on Jimmy Kimmel Live, with the host saying, “I missed something important because there’s something that came up while people were watching your multimedia experience. People seem to be fascinated by the idea that Benny’s feet are very dirty.”
“I noticed that too, Jimmy,” Dicky joked, and Blanco came to his defense, saying, “Wait. Wait. First of all, it’s the plant’s fault,” blaming Dicky’s home, where the podcast is recorded, for the dirt.
